Take a tour of Karlstejn Castle in Czech Republic. Overlooking the Czech village of Karlštejn, mounted on a hilltop is a grand castle. Karlstejn Castle is one of the grand features and jewels of Czech Republic, immensely popular worldwide. An exquisite Gothic marvel, it was the vision of the King of Bohemia, Charles IV. Founded in 1348, it took around 18 years to be constructed and finished only after the consecration of Chapel of the Holy Cross took place. This illustrious castle played an imperative role in securing the Bohemian coronation jewels and Imperial Regalia among other important items. Erected on a promontory, the current appearance of the castle in neo- Gothic style can be attributed to Josef Mocker.
